Chapter 668: Chapter 11: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 11)

Nowadays, two factions are gradually forming online.

One supports the Huanming Brothers and Sisters, believing that their straightforwardness and sincerity are a breath of fresh air in reality shows.

The other can’t stand the pair’s behavior on the show, thinking Lu Huan is taking money without doing work, and Lu Ming’s performance is too exaggerated.

[How could such a young child be so sensible unless he went through a sudden change? I won’t believe he’s like this without someone teaching him behind the scenes, growing up in a greenhouse.]

[Haven’t you noticed that Jiang Qu is very normal when alone, even somewhat likable? But as soon as he’s alone with Lu Ming, he becomes irritable and loses control. Lu Ming really makes you think deeply.]

In general, the reputation of Jiang Lai and Jiang Qu has slightly improved, thanks entirely to Jiang Lai’s attitude towards tasks, which is that as long as you don’t overdo it, you should push it to the extreme.

Of course, there are quite a few viewers who dislike Jiang Lai’s attitude.

They think she’s making a big deal out of nothing, that she niggles over small details, and even go as far as to say Jiang Lai is the type of person they hate most in everyday work and life.

[Honestly, if I met someone like this at work, I’d really find it annoying. It makes everyone tense. Why take things so seriously just to earn a living?]

[I just want to lie flat, I just want to be a lazy person, I hate people like Jiang Lai who work themselves to death!]

Because of this reality show, a viral choice question has even appeared on hot searches.

#AreYouAFlatLyingFactionOrExtremeWorkerFaction#

Jiang Lai only heard about it when Little Buding rarely came online, that there was such a boring poll online.

"I think you belong to the Chocolate faction."

Little Buding said to himself, explaining himself.

"Because you’re dark inside and out."

"Then you belong to the Egg Yolk faction."

"Why?"

"Because you’re yellow inside and out."

"Rubbish!"

Finally online once, the two continued their usual tradition, quarreling before anything else.

Jiang Lai didn’t care about such things.

She didn’t even feel that her recent exchange with Lu Huan was that intense; she was just honestly speaking her mind with great peace.

Lu Huan’s cherry jam was certainly not going anywhere.

But Jiang Lai won’t settle for less. She personally climbed the tree and picked a pot of cherries, boiled them with sugar, and after cooling, paired them with bread.

Taking a bite, Jiang Lai sighed.

This is life.

After all, she hadn’t had cherries for so many years in the Beast World, as there were no seeds. After such a long time, savoring this sweet-sour flavor again brought Jiang Lai unprecedented satisfaction.

In the end, on the task card, out of the four groups, only Jiang Lai completed it.

The director himself didn’t expect such an outcome.

After all, when designing this segment, the aim was to hype up Lu Huan and Lu Ming.

The brother diligent, hardworking, and responsible, the sister beautiful, funny, and amusing; hot searches were already bought, but this is indeed the result.

This leads to the hot search hanging on the list being somewhat awkward, with water army leading comments barely making waves.

Because of Lu Ming’s hand injury, the siblings only had bread for lunch.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t even bread, just a bun, and it turned hard once it cooled.

Lu Huan suppressed her depression and comforted her brother.

"It’s alright. At least we have buns to eat. I know Little Lu is the best. We’ll try harder with the next task."

With these words, Lu Huan took a bite in front of the camera.

The bun was well-made but sadly too hard.

The previously imagined soft bread with cherry jam became merely eating a dry bun; though hungry, Lu Huan still had no appetite.

Thus she gave some buns to Han Li and Qu Yongjia.

Their bread was disastrous; not just eating it, even looking at it felt life-shortening.

Naturally, the two were repeatedly grateful.

Especially Han Li, while eating, gazed at Jiang Lai next to her, speaking not too loudly or softly.

"I feel like when everyone shares together, everything tastes especially good.

Anyway, I’m not used to eating alone; it’s easy to get intestinal colic that way."

"This bun kneaded really nicely, Lu Huan, how did you teach your brother? Boys, I see others just know to eat and sleep all day, but how come Lu Ming is so sensible and capable?"

"You’re so lucky to have such a wonderful brother helping you with this and that; seems the boys in your family have a lower status than the girls.

Unlike some families I’ve seen, the boys are complete Crown Princes, sometimes the sister serves like an old servant, and she even enjoys herself.

It’s so laughable."

Lu Huan chuckled along.

"Some people are born to be cattle and horses; others treat them as such, and they gradually forget they’re human."

The two chatted and laughed.

Occasionally sneaking glances at Jiang Lai.

How come she’s not reacting at all? Wasn’t she quite direct just now?

Yet the next second, Jiang Lai took off her headphones, looked at them and curiously asked.

"What’s up? Why are you looking at me?"

Feeling wronged, blocked at heart.

Both faces turned dark.

They bantered so long, yet Jiang Lai hadn’t heard a single word!

"Where did you get headphones?"

Wasn’t it said not to bring communication devices?

Jiang Lai took out the walkman from her pocket.

"This, doesn’t count as a communication device."

It was an antique, no idea how the original owner got it, but the sound quality was decent, and most importantly, it insulated sound.

"This thing’s sound quality is great, once you put it on, you can’t hear the dogs outside barking." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Saying this, the dog tethered in the farm barked twice.

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"See, the dog was just barking."

"How dare you insult!"

Han Li’s voice became sharper.

Jiang Lai looked innocent.

"What are you talking about? When did I insult? I only said the dog was barking just now, wasn’t it? Wasn’t the dog barking all along?"

"..."

[Hahahahahahah I’m sorry, no intention to dislike Han Li, but it’s just too funny]

[Wasn’t it Han Li being passive-aggressive first? Ended up subdued by a move]

[Dying of laughter, Han Li’s expression is better than her acting]

[Seriously? Jiang Lai has the right to insult now, doesn’t she? Impolite, uncultured]

[I just honestly felt satisfied, if someone was passive-aggressively against me, I would hope to retaliate like Jiang Lai]

Han Li racked her brain to retaliate, but just as she was about to speak, Jiang Lai leisurely put back on her headphones, muttering.

"So noisy, guess the dog will keep barking."

Han Li: "..."

[Why argue with Jiang Lai]

[Role model, Jiang Lai is awesome]

[Does Jiang Lai genuinely not care about interpersonal relationships anymore? Those who admire her, is it that they don’t want to get along well with colleagues in the future?]

[Doesn’t even want to pretend, such selfish people]
